As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

      Simon says, "Make this bubblegum crap go away!!!"
      Elsewhere on the week's Hot 100, the Box Tops' classic "Cry Like A Baby" soars up to #28 in its 3rd week on the chart, and "Everything That Touches You" (by Your Favorite 60s Band) drops to #12 after spending 2 weeks in the Top 10.

      Man, I hated that song at #12. "Simon Says" without the beat.

    Pretty harsh!
    As my high school physics teacher used to say, "Don't be bitter, reconsider." ;-)
